Lowrance Fish Finder Helps You Track Your Fish
By Rodger G Allenby
In the past, anglers had to accept the frustration of going home
empty handed, but now thanks to technology, fish finders have
changed all that! These handy devices fit in your hand and can
help you track and catch the trophy fish you've dreamed about.
There are a number of different fish finders on the market, but
the Lowrance finders have gained a reputation for being able to
stand up to many different environments. If you have ever wondered
how do fish finders work, then read on.
A Number Of Models To Suit Your Fishing
One of the biggest benefits of the Lowrance finder is ease of
use. In fact, they have been nominated for best picture, performance
and value in 2010. There are a variety of models available to
suit the needs of any angler.
You can get a fish finder with a monochrome screen, dual-frequency
50/200 kHz sonar with up to 2500 feet of depth penetration, which
is designed for salt water or down-rigger tracking.
High Resolution Color Monitors
If you're really serious about your sport fishing and want a
higher end model, then check out Lowrance's Legacy line of products.
The devices come with high resolution color monitors and dual-frequency,
fish finder sonar with 4000 watts of peak-to-peak power.
If you are considering purchasing a Lowrance fish finder or one
of the other electronic fish finders on the market, then the transducer
should be your main concern. A transducer's cone angle determines
its coverage area.
Dual Frequency Transducers
The wider the cone angle is, the greater the area that will be
covered. Lowrance offers a variety of 200 kHz transducers with
either a wide (20°) or narrow (12°) cone angle. The 50 kHz transducers
come with a 35° cone angle.
The dual-frequency transducers come with both a narrow (12°)
200 kHz and a wide (35°) 50 kHz cone angles. And the dual-search
transducers come with both a narrow (12°) 200 kHz and a wide (35°)
83 kHz cone angles.
Wide Cone Angle For Medium To Shallow Depths
Generally, anglers should use a wide cone angle for fishing shallow
to medium depths. The narrow cone penetrates to deeper depths,
but shows less fish and structure due to its narrow beam.
Installing your transducer correctly is critical to the operation
of your device. Most of the Lowrance permanent-mount transducers
are designed for high-speed operations. For the best results,
the transducer should be placed where a smooth, undisturbed flow
of water will pass across the face of the transducer at all boat
speeds.
Make certain that the chosen location doesn't interfere with
the boat's trailer. Read your owner's manual carefully before
installing the transducer! If you do have problems, Lowrance offers
an excellent technical support system and self service. A plastic
transducer is recommended on aluminum or steel-hulled boats to
avoid potential electrolysis problems.
Easy To Operate
If you're a novice with fish finders, then the Lowrance fish
finder is a good choice because the menus are easy to understand
and the device does not require a great deal of programming.
Once you have the device programmed to your liking, you can save
the settings so that you don't have to start all over again. Another
big selling point is price. Lowrance products are very competitively
priced and have a solid reputation.
Before you make a purchase, go online to read customer reviews
and have a look at some of the competitors, such as Garmin and
Raymarine fish finders. You'll find that Lowrance can hold its
own in this niche market.
